New England Patriots Rumor: Adrain Peterson Would Take Pay-cut To Be In New England

According to Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald, free agent running-back Adrian Peterson would take a New England Patriots friendly deal to sign with the team so he could have a chance to win a Super Bowl. The 31-year-old has made close to $100 million for his career and at this point he clearly is looking for a chance to finally win.

If he were to sign with the Patriots, he would be taking a significant pay cut as the team rarely pays their backs more than $2 million per year and Peterson made over $12 million last season.

In his 10-year career he has rushed for over 1,000 yards seven times. There are still some lingering effects with his past off the field issues, so it is worth wondering if the Patriots would even be willing to sign him. But some are now speculating that there is mutual interest between the two parties and with LeGarrette Blount poised to enter free agency the Patriots are in need of signing a top back.

State of Trifecta Network

State of Trifecta Network

The last two months have been a whirlwind. There are no words that can truly describe what has happened to us as a website.

We went from a site that was getting an average of 2-3k viewers a week to getting that in a single day on average since the start of June. Since the start of June, we have been a credentialed member of the media to several of the teams in the area and look to increase that in the Fall.

Ultimately everything we create is meant to be read/consumed by our readers, you. Often it is tough to get a vibe on what is or isn’t working in terms of content. That is why we would greatly appreciate if you guys give your thoughts in the comment section of this post to help us curate better content.

One thing we are looking forward to in the Fall is more reader/writer interactions. We will start doing Q and A’s related to all the Boston sports teams as well as a live Fantasy Football podcast where we will take your lineup questions.

The launch of the Fantasy podcast has yet to be decided, but expect it ahead of week 1 of the NFL season with a draft podcast. We will also be launching a Fantasy Football league to run alongside it if interested in joining fill out the contact form below with your information.

Trifecta Network is a growing platform, we will always be free and made for our readers. We appreciate your readership and want to build the best product we can to ensure the best Boston sports experience in the city.

You may have noticed more video content on the site, it is an area we are looking to improve, but not focus solely on. Many sports sites are going away from traditional writing, a move that I believe is a mistake.

If you ever have any thoughts or comments please feel free to reach out to us.
